INSPECTING CARGO
Before Starting
Every 3 hrs / 150 Miles
After Every Break
As part of your pre-trip inspection, check for overloads, poorly
balanced weight, and cargo that is not secured right. Inspect the
cargo and its securing devices again within 25 miles after beginning
a trip.
Make any adjustments needed.
Check the cargo and securing devices as often as necessary during
a trip to keep the load secure.
Inspect again:
• After you have driven for 3 hours or 150 miles.
• After every break you take during driving. Federal, state and
local regulations of weight, securement, cover, and truck routes
vary greatly from place to place. Know the regulations where you
will be driving.
